HUSH 'tis a holy hour the quiet room	A
Seems like a temple while yon soft lamp sheds	B
A faint and starry radiance through the gloom	A
And the sweet stillness down on fair young heads	B
With all their clustering locks untouch'd by care	C
And bow'd as flowers are bow'd with night in prayer	C
	-
Gaze on 'tis lovely Childhood's lip and cheek	D
Mantling beneath its earnest brow of thought	E
Gaze yet what seest thou in those fair and meek	D
And fragile things as but for sunshine wrought	E
Thou seest what grief must nurture for the sky	F
What death must fashion for eternity	G
	-
O joyous creatures that will sink to rest	H
Lightly when those pure orisons are done	I
As birds with slumber's honey dew opprest	H
'Midst the dim folded leaves at set of sun	I
Life up your hearts though yet no sorrow lies	J
Dark in the summer heaven of those clear eyes	J
	-
Though fresh within your breasts the untroubled springs	K
Of hope make melody where'er ye tread	H
And o'er your sleep bright shadows from the wings	K
Of spirits visiting but youth be spread	H
Yet in those flute like voices mingling low	L
Is woman's tenderness how soon her woe	L
	-
Her lot is on you silent tears to weep	M
And patient smiles to wear through suffering's hour	N
And sumless riches from affection's deep	M
To pour on broken reeds a wasted shower	N
And to make idols and to find them clay	O
And to bewail that worship therefore pray	O
	-
Her lot is on you to be found untired	H
Watching the stars out by the bed of pain	P
With a pale cheek and yet a brow inspired	H
And a true heart of hope though hope be vain	P
Meekly to bear with wrong to cheer decay	O
And oh to love through all things therefore pray	O
	-
And take the thought of this calm vesper time	Q
With its low murmuring sounds and silvery light	H
On through the dark days fading from their prime	Q
As a sweet dew to keep your souls from blight	H
Earth will forsake O happy to have given	I
The unbroken heart's first fragrance unto Heaven	I
